Job description

The Harvard Club of New York City was founded in 1865 by a small group of alumni interested in continuing the fellowship of Cambridge. Within a year, the club grew to 98 members, gathering at Delmonico’s and other rented venues. By the early 1890s, with membership expanding to 600, the need for a permanent home became clear.

Today, the Harvard Club of NYC stands as an architectural gem with a rich history. It was among the first buildings to be designated a New York City Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Members and alumni take great pride in this iconic building.

The Harvard Club of New York City is your connection to the Harvard community! Members represent all University disciplines and span multiple generations.
